Destinations at The Rose & Crown Reviews

READ THIS! NOT A HOSTEL, a pub, with a few rooms. The 'staff' are actually the bartenders/ bouncers with 'bouncer' culture: My luggage strap got stolen in the hostel, & when I informed the 'manager', he & a bartender started interrogating me, asking (threatning) to check the CCTV (which was a 24 * 2 hrs tape, for a $20 strap :) He then said I should prove it to him, and he'll pay the $ 20 back! I've 1 more strory, no space :)

Hostel is on top of a pub, but the pub closes at 11pm, so no noise trouble. Need to take a key (20£ deposit) if you want to return after closing hours. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are small but the beds (double bunks) are quite nice, with curtains. Room contained a tiny desk with a computer +internet access, and a small fridge. Otherwise no kitchen etc. Minor downpoints: Only two showers on floor. Room doors and underbed lockers very noisy, so difficult to sleep if others get up early

The staff was super friendly (especially the owner and his German Shepherd, Mishka). Supremely comfy beds with privacy curtains are a definite bonus. I had some friends staying at St. Christopher's across the street and they were all jealous of me at the Rose & Crown! Definitely, definitely recommend.

Very good value. Good beds, clean. I liked the plug socket on each bed. Will likely use again.

Bathrooms are a little small, but it's a nice stay and good value. The walk from the Tube station to the hostel freaked me out a bit! Thanks a bunch for a good stay.

Stayed at the Rose and Crown for a couple of nights by myself. It is in a great location, very close to a major underground with three different lines, so getting anywhere was easy. Just a short walk away was the Tate Modern. Breakfast was free and the selection of spreads for toast was crazy! The beds were in very clean rooms and had privacy curtains and functioning reading lamps. I enjoyed the flat screen in the dorm room as well! The owner Charles was super helpful with info about London too!

Best beds I've slept in and a ice clean room. Would definatly use this place again.

This was a great hostel to stay at for a weekend. The atmosphere was great, very relaxing. The location was pretty good within walking distance to the London Bride tub stop. The staff could always be found for engaging conversation, useful advice, and always a cold pint. This hostel was well worth the small amount of money it cost to stay there. I would recommend this safe, friendly, and hospitable hostle to all travlers to London.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Located 1-2 mins walk down a side road off the main road leading to London Bridge so very central. Walk to London bridge in 5-8 mins maybe. The main road has plenty of bars and restaurants. Has numerical lock units on both the stairs door and the individual dorm doors - I prefer swipe cards. The bed had amazing mattress and great white bedding 10/10 The lockers under the beds would be better if they were the metal cage type as the wooden ones were poor design

Excellent hostel with friendly staff who go the extra yard to ensure you enjoy your stay. Nice continental breakfast at reasonable time for everyone. Would definitely stay again!

This is just the perfect place to visit London with a couple of guys, had soooo much fun. Nice and cosy familiair hostel, pub is outstanding close to the Tower Bridge. The 6 bed dorms were perfect for our team, especially for toolboxmeetings with the perfect MR speaker;) And last but not least the staff, very gentle barman MR. T, he was hilarious. You can also sing along with Mr T, he knows pretty a lot of very nice songs, he even sing along in different languas. grtz jiu-jitsu team Holland

This is a great hostel, if a little expensive. The staff was beyond friendly and accommodating, offered great conversation as well as suggesting possible itineraries. It is a 5-7 min walk to London Bridge tube station. It is just down the street from the Borough Market, which is awesome. The privacy curtain / light in the bed are very nice. About the only bad thing I can think of is that the drains are slow in the showers and it would be nice if there was some sort of shelving in the showers.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Rose and Crown. The staff were lovely and vey accommodating; Taylor was especially charming. I also really liked the privacy curtain because it gave me my own space. The only things I didn't like we're that I was unable to figure out how to use the locker and the washroom. Personally, I hate when water pools around your feet in the shower. Otherwise I enjoyed the stay and I would recommend this hostel and may revisit if I am back in London.

Excellent place! By tube you can get everywhere!

Cosy, small and very familiar, with very nice staff. Lots of brochures, free maps and info to get the most out of your trip. Breakfast included! Loved the idea of naming the rooms after places in london and the pub downstairs.

Great hostel! The location is very centred, staff was friendly and the rooms (and toilet area including showers with warm water) were very clean. Especially loved the little curtains in the hostel beds, gave some privacy when needed. Breakfast was also good, and we liked the owner's dog :) Would definitely come back here when back in London, probably will too! Thanks again for a lovely stay :) Cheers, girls from Finland :)

Great stay: Offers all the things you need from a hostel - free wifi, clean and comfy beds, plug sockets, good breakfast and friendly staff.

I had a great time at Destinations having visited over the summer and deciding to return for another week. Staff, location (only a short walk to the river, Tate Modern, Tower Bridge and the Shard, and easy to cross over or wonder along the river to Southbank, St Pauls, Covent Gardens/West End Area), rooms and facilities are brilliant. Breakfast is great and varied, looking forward to visiting again x

Nice hostel, quite expensive but have comfortable rooms and good location. Ideal for people who wants a peaceful stay. Don't go there looking for meeting people. The staff is really nice and it is a safe place. I could stay there again.

The staff were awesome! Very friendly and helpful! Free breakfast every morning was a great added bonus! Rooms and bathrooms are small but if you're only there for a weekend like I was it was fine! Would definitely stay there again if in London for another weekend trip!
